Sickly

It all started last night when my stomach was feeling less than fresh. I went to bed, and froze. All night. Bedspread AND down comforter did nothing to warm me up. I wake up this morning and feel sick to my stomach. I know if I get up I'll throw up. So I stay in bed as long as possible. Luckily Summer is sleeping well. I finally get up around 10:30 and start throwing up. Still freezing, I have a fever and my entire body aches. Great. How am I supposed to take care of a baby when I can barely take care of myself? (And I'm thinking...horrible timing! I can't be sick for the Grand Opening of Sonic tomorrow!!! I know, I know...) I call Derrick and he comes home and takes care of us. What a lifesaver. He's been so helpful today--I don't know what I would do without him. I'm feeling TONS better now. My fever broke and I'm keeping food down and Ibuprofen is helping with the aches.

So sorry! Not fun at all. Good thing you had help. One time I was sick and Lucas was.. so poor Eric had to take care of Lucas throwing up all by himself and take care of Alex. Hope you get better soon.

Jonathan and I both got sick at the same time in the middle of the night. Fortunately he had a quick recovery and got up at 7, got the kids off to school and took care of Karen and Isaac the rest of the day. I was stuck in bed all day. I dragged myself out to watch 24, then took Tylenol PM and was out again all night. I'm mostly better today. Hope you are too.

Oh Karen, I am SO sorry!!! We got this same sickness, minus the throwing up (good thing, cause we just did that in December!) and it was awful, but luckily my MIL happened to here visiting, so she took care of the kids while I did nothing. I hope you're feeling tons better, and just remember it will go away! I promise! Lots of water!!! :)
